ANDRIC, IVO; EDWARDS, LOVETT F. (TRANSLATED BY), AND MCNEILL, WILLIAM H. (INTRODUCTION BY)

The Bridge on the Drina

Chicago, University of Chicago Press. 1977, Reprint, 2004. (ISBN: 0226020452) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 314 pp.; 21 cm. First published, 1945, under title: Na Drini cuprija. Translated from the Serbo-Croat. Tight, clean copy. "The Bridge on the Drina is a vivid depiction of the suffering history has imposed upon the people of Bosnia from the late 16th century to the beginning of World War I. As we seek to make sense of the current nightmare in this region, this remarkable, timely book serves as a reliable guide to its people and history. 'No better introduction to the study of Balkan and Ottoman history exists, nor do I know of any work of fiction that more persuasively introduces the reader to a civilization other than our own. It is an intellectual and emotional adventure to encounter the Ottoman world through Andric's pages in its grandiose beginning and at its tottering finale. It is, in short, a marvelous work, a masterpiece, and very much sui generis. Andric's sensitive portrait of social change in distant Bosnia has revelatory force.'--William H. McNeill, from the introduction. / Born in Bosnia, Ivo Andric (1892-1975) was a distinguished diplomat and novelist. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1961. His books include The Damned Yard: And Other Stories, and The Days of the Consuls." - Publisher. Fine.

Solzhenitsyn At Harvard: The Address, Twelve Early Responses, And Six Later Reflections.

Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington: 1980. Softcover. Very good condition. When Aleksandr Sozhenitsyn gave the commencement address at Harvard University in 1978, many Americans expected to hear their country praised by this celebrated refugee from a totalitarian state. Instead they heard some sharply critical views of their legal system, their press, their popular culture, and even their national will. The forthright and controversial speech makes up Part One of this book. A sampling of the avalanche of comment that followed it is included in Part Two; among the authors in this section are George F. Will, James Reston, Archibald MacLeish, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. In Part Three, six thoughtful scholars - Sidney Hook, Ronald Berman, Richard Pipes, Harold J. Berman, William H. McNeill, and Michael Novak - reflect on the ideas and judgments expressed by the great Russian writer. Recommended for all libraries. - Choice

Pathmarks

Cambridge Univ Pr, 1998. Paperback. Pp: 385. This is the first time that a seminal collection of fourteen essays by Martin Heidegger (originally published in German under the title Wegmarken) has appeared in English in its complete form. It includes new or first-time translations of seven essays, and thoroughly revised, updated versions of the other seven. Amongst the new translations are such key essays as 'On the Essence of Ground', 'Hegel and the Greeks' and 'On the Question of Being'. Spanning a period from 19191961, these essays have become established points of reference for all those with a serious interest in Heidegger. Now collected for the first time in translations by an experienced Heidegger translator and scholar, they will prove an essential resource for all students of Heidegger. ISBN: 9780521439688.

Arnold J. Toynbee: A Life

Oxford and New York, Oxford University Press. 1990, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 019506335X) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. viii, 346 pp. illus. bib. notes, index; 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Top edge lightly soiled, otherwise tight & clean. "Arnold Toynbee was one of the most remarkable thinkers of the 20th century, a man of far-reaching imagination, extraordinary erudition, and an infinite capacity for hard work. At the height of his fame, he was the most renowned scholar in the world, acclaimed as the author of the monumental, 10-volume A Study of History. Indeed, such was the regard for his Study that Time magazine, in a cover article on Toynbee published in 1947, declared that he had 'found history Ptolemaic and left it Copernican.' In Arnold Toynbee: A Life, William H. McNeill weaves together Toynbee's intellectual accomplishments and the personal difficulties of his private life, providing both an intimate portrait of a leading thinker and a judicious evaluation of Toynbee's work and his legacy for the study of history. McNeill illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of A Study of History as well as the countless other works penned by this prolific writer, examining the responses of other historians (including the devastating attack mounted by Hugh Trevor Roper) and Toynbee's attempts to modify his Study to answer these criticisms. And McNeill also examines Toynbee's tormented personal life, including his troubled marriage to Rosalind Murray (the daughter of Gilbert Murray), and the suicide of his son Anthony. What emerges is both poignant and thought-provoking, a biography and a commentary about how history is written and how it should be pursued. William McNeill is one of America's most eminent historians, the winner of a National Book Award in 1964 for The Rise of the West, which The New York Times Book Review called "the most learned..the most intelligent..the most stimulating and fascinating book that has ever set out to recount and explain the whole history of the world." In this sympathetic portrait of a life both triumphant and troubled, McNeill brings his skills to bear on one of the greatest figures in his field, illuminating a career of rare accomplishment. / William H. McNeill is Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Chicago. He is a past president of the American Historical Association, a member of the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an honorary member of the Royal Historical Society." - Publisher.
